Thanks for the info guys, I put 10Lbs of minnows in my pond every spring and another 10lbs every fall (plus pellet feeding in the summer). I'm trying salt in the areas I know fish hang out in. Kinda scared to see what happens when all of the ice melts.

Basically, the only stress my fish have seen in the snow and ice. Pond was only fished 4 to 5 times in 2013... No-one fished it after Sept.
